Krill Design announces the successful completion of the \u201cSUSTAINABLE FU(RNI)TURE\u201d project<\/strong>, funded under the \u201cRicerca & Innova\u201d call<\/strong> promoted by Regione Lombardia<\/strong> through the ERDF Regional Programme 2021\u20132027<\/strong> and co-financed by the European Union<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the core of Krill Design\u2019s two-year SUSTAINABLE FU(RNI)TURE project<\/strong> is the development of new circular and sustainable solutions for the eco-design and furniture sector<\/strong>, achieved by upcycling food-industry by-products\u2014such as peels, seeds, and shells<\/strong>\u2014into innovative biomaterials<\/strong> for the production of furniture and design objects.<\/p>\n

The project represents a significant step toward a future in which design, sustainability, and technology<\/strong> converge to create shared value<\/strong>. Thanks to this initiative, \u201cKrill Design has strengthened its role as a pioneer in the circular economy applied to the creative industry,\u201d<\/em> states the Krill Design team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the heart of Krill Design\u2019s solution within the SUSTAINABLE FU(RNI)TURE project<\/strong> lies REKRILL\u00ae<\/strong>, a patented material engineered to deliver the technical reliability of traditional plastics without their environmental impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

REKRILL\u00ae is not just a material, but a narrative.<\/strong> It becomes a tangible way to express values, vision, and commitment to the planet<\/strong>. Its tactile qualities, material depth, and natural origin allow it to convey meaning beyond function.<\/p>\n

\u201cREKRILL\u00ae does not replace plastic through imitation,\u201d<\/em> says Ivan Calimani, CEO and Founder of Krill Design<\/strong>. \u201cIt does so by changing the rules and offering a new starting point rooted in regeneration, actively reducing dependence on virgin resources.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Unlike petrochemical plastics and first-generation biopolymers, REKRILL\u00ae is fully bio-based and compostable\u2014even in marine environments\u2014without releasing microplastics or toxic residues<\/strong>. In terms of CO\u2082 savings<\/strong>, the benefits are substantial, with up to 67% lower emissions compared to conventional plastics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The initiative was developed within Action 1.1.1 \u201cSupport for investments in research, development and innovation\u201d<\/strong>, promoting a short and circular supply chain<\/strong> that integrates scientific know-how, sustainable design, and local production<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Key outcomes of the project include the formulation of new food-waste-based biopolymers for 3D printing<\/strong>, the development of new eco-design products for small and medium-sized furniture<\/strong>, and the validation of a production model that can be replicated across other territories and industrial contexts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These results are made tangible through the creation and production of new eco-design collections and products<\/strong> made from orange peels, lemon peels, and coffee grounds<\/strong>, as well as through the testing and development of new bio-material formulations<\/strong> derived from shells, seeds, and by-products of the cereal supply chain<\/strong>, suitable for application across multiple sectors.<\/p>\n

The conclusion of the project also marks the beginning of new growth perspectives<\/strong>: Krill Design now aims at the industrialization and internationalization<\/strong> of the developed solutions, with the goal of making a concrete contribution to European objectives for ecological transition and climate neutrality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
